History: Originally established in 1875 to serve the congregation of St. Matthew's Church of Hamburg, New York. Today it is a Nondenominational cemetery serving the needs of all faiths in the Western New York area
On May 26, 1875, John Bugelman, a 21 day old infant, was the first burial in St. Matthew's Cemetery. "Old Shep", also known as the "Hermit of Leydecker Road" is also buried in this cemetery. Old Shep was originally from Missouri and lived along the banks of Cazenovia Creek in a small cave. Eventually he built a small shack on the Kloiber Farm and became well known for his fondness of people and animals. Old Shep was killed when his shack caught on fire, and having no next-of-kin, a pauper's grave awaited him. However, through the generosity of the Lang Family, Old Shep was given a deserving funeral and is buried in Section L of St. Matthew's Cemetery.
